This invention relates to improvements in hair waving devices wherein aseries of combs are connected in such manner that all of the combs arein alinement when extended but wherein the alternate combs will move inopposite directions when the said combs are brought together for thepurpose of waving the hair.

The object of this invention is to provide a device of the characterdescribed, which is of simple construction, and wherein suitable meansare provided to direct the motion of the combs. v

This object is attained by means of the device illustrated in theaccompanying drawing and described in the following speclfication.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a view showing the extended position of thedevice; ig. 2 is a view showing the contracted or closed device, andFig. 3 is a perspective detailed view of a pivot or connecting platehereinafter described.

Referring to the parts, 1 and 2, represent two series of combs pivotallyconnected by means of links 3, plates 4 and pivots 5. The plates 4 aresecurely attached to the combs by any suitable means as'at 6, and areformed with upwardly extending lugs 7 which are adapted to 'enga e alongone edge of the links 3 to direct t e movement of the said links whenthe device is contracted as shown in Fig. 2.

In practice, the device is placed upon the head of the user in suchmanner that the hair is engaged by the teeth of the combs, whereupon thedevice is brought together and the hair waved to conform to the actionof the combs.

The links 3 maybe provided with hinges 8 as shown in Fig. 1 to morereadily admit of the curvatureof the device to conform to the shape ofthe head.

Obviously any number of combs may be attached in the manner shown in thedrawings and various modifications, within the scope of the invention,may be embodied.

lVhat is claimed is 1. In a hair waving apparatus, a plurality of combspivotally connected, attachment plates secured to the combs,linkspivotally connected to the said attachment plates and lugs formedupon attachment plates to engage one side of the attached links.

2. In a hair waving device, a plurality of combs pivotally connected,attachment plates secured thereto, links pivotally connected to theattachment plates and adapted to permit the extension of the combs tothe limit of the links, and their contraction and alternate lateralmovement to the limit of the links, and lugs formed upon the attachmentplates to limit the turning movement of the connecting links.
